    Incredible!

    I say it was incredible because I couldn't believe I was watching a fictional film. The directing and the acting was so awesome. I thought it really happened. It fooled me. It also embarrassed me a little when I went up to the director who also played one of the roles and asked if that was him on the screen. I couldn't believe that it was him in the movie because I thought it was real. That is acting at its best. God Bless these guys because I haven't stopped thinking about this movie. It really scared me and made me cry. In a good way though. It has also made me think a lot about the evil in the world and how real it is. This is a powerful film.

    Powerful!!

    Finally a short with a one-two punch more powerful than anything you'll ever see. Filmmakers usually try to fit a feature length story in a short. It usually doesn't work. What I like about this short is: it has a strong beginning, middle and end. The story goes absolutely crazy and escalates in tension. It becomes a roller coaster ride that seems to never end and then pow. It hits you over the head and you just sit there and say, "What the hell just happened?" The acting doesn't look like acting. It looks like a slice of life, a real event that has really happened. This is film-making at its best. I give credit to the filmmakers to have the guts to tackle a very controversial subject and make it entertaining and alive and real. I look forward to see what they make next!

    Intense!

    I saw this movie at Sunset/Gower. I thought it was intriguing. A highly intense film! I liked it. I can't say I really loved it though. I thought the acting was great, very spontaneous. They tried to pull it off like it was a real event and I think they did well there, however the cinematography had some issues. I think it was the best of the night which is not really saying much. No offense to the other films because they all had merit. I think it was the most interesting. I wasn't sure whether the writer was an atheist or a church thumper. But in the end it was clear what his point of view is. I give the film makers a "C" for the look of the film. However, I give them an "A" for originality and uniqueness.
